Samos Vin Doux

(Σάμος Βιν Ντου)

Samos Vin Doux is the most popular wine from Samos. It is produced from Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, which is locally known as Moschato Aspro. Apart from this style, the appellation also includes dry wines and the renowned Samos Nectar made from dried grapes.


As it is evident from the name, this wine is produced as a vin doux style. This technique involves adding grape spirit before fermentation is completed. The result is a wine that retains its natural sweetness and typically has higher alcohol content.


Samos Vin Doux is a soft, mellow, and aromatic wine, dominated by aromas of apricot jam and ripe melon. The flavor is rich and complex but well-balanced with freshness and acidity. This wine would pair well with desserts, especially regional pastries, tarts, and fruit-based desserts.


It can also work well as an after-dinner drink.
